Fanatec released their V2 version of the CSL Elite McLaren GT3 wheel this morning. While at first glance this wheel would appear to be no different that the V1. However, when you dive into it deeper, it’s remarkably new and a heck of a value at the $199 price point.
- Redesigned electronics for improved performance and durability.
- New Magnetic Shifters & a multi purpose paddle system
- MULTI-Position Switches with Rotary Encoder Functionality
- Tool Free Simplified Quick Release
If you own or purchase a ClubSport Quick Release Adapter you will be able to utilize the Hi Torque function on your DD1/DD2 wheel base.
While this wheel may not look different from the front. It’s definitely different from the back. All great improvements on a cost efficient wheel that can cross the PC & Console Sim Racing plane quite nicely.
Update 2/12/2021:
I’ve had the V2 wheel for about 2 weeks now. Really liking the new magnetic shifters. I had the V1 previously, and was very happy with it as well. The improvements are a great bonus. This will now be my go to wheel for iRacing Indy Car and Various GT classes in iRacing. If you plan to use this on the CSW 2.5 or DD1/DD2. I highly recommend buying the ClubSport Quick Release Adapter. You will enjoy utilizing the full torque potential.
